Episode 1

The day we've all been waiting for has finally arrived (sorry for the late post)! Episode 1 of the highly anticipated Rookie Blue aired this past Thursday in BOTH the us and canada. And the episode undoubtably met all of my expectations. Seriously, the show pulled all the stops on this one in order to entice the audience.

The show started with an initiation/hazing party for the new officers, which actually had no steamy hook-ups or forbidden affairs, just a game of who-can-get-their-cuffs-off-the-fastest. The girl who won (blonde cop) cheated. The main girl (Andy) lost by seconds.

Then the show focused on their first day of work. The cocky cop got stuck with a no-nonsense senior cop. The prissy cop got stuck with a no-nonsense-black-woman cop, and Andy got stuck with a cop who likes to eat a lot. In all, every character has a very established stereotype, merely 20 mins into the episode. The blonde girl and the over-excited boy cop got stuck in the office for the day.

Not two minutes into their patrol, Andy and the food-lovin cop get hailed for a problem out in a shady apartment building. Andy is anxious to go, f.l. wants to go get breakfast. Andy wins. Right after they arrive on scene, they hear gunshots and Andy freaks out. They enter the building yadda-yadda, its all exciting, and then Andy ends up chasing this guys who matches the gun-mans description and makes the arrest. Back at the office, Andy finds out that the drug-dealer gun-man was actually an undercover cop working on an eight-month discovery of a coke dealer. Whoops, Andy broke his cover on her first day! A hate-hate relationship is established between the two.

Andy soon redeems herself as she goes back to the crime scene, flirts with the cute detective, and then arrests an under-18 gunman. Exciting episode!!
